Sodium is produced commercially by heating salt (sodium chloride) to the molten state and then electrolyzing. Way more electricity is consumed in the production of the sodium than will be released at the end of the whole affair when the hydrogen is run through a fuel cell. As an added bonus, the waste produced by combining sodium and water is caustic sodium hydroxide which will probably create hazardous waste issues.
I'm not impressed. This technology may have limited specialty applications for small electrical appliances, but for large scale energy consumption, it would be stupid, bad and wrong, like most of the current hydrogen technology being pimped. The folks most excited about hydrogen technology, IMO, are people like Kenneth Lay, because hydrogen technology just means more consumption of conventionally generated electricity, presently produced in large part by burning coal. - Posted by: Yehuda Mann Posted on: 07/12/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
